Slow Cooker Tomato Pasta Sauce with Italian Sausage I like for most slow cooker recipes to not need any kind of browning or cooking on the stove, but this one does require some pre-cooking. There's nothing like slow cooked pasta sauce that's been simmering all day. This homemade spaghetti sauce is loaded with spicy Italian sausage, fire roasted tomatoes and crushed tomatoes. You can cook Slow Cooker Tomato Pasta Sauce with Italian Sausage using 14 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

Slow Cooker Tomato Pasta Sauce with Italian Sausage instructions

  1. Throw all the ingredients into your slow cooker..
  2. Give it all a few good stirs..
  3. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or high for 4 to 5. It's a good idea to stir occasionally if you can to redistribute the seasonings. About 30 mins before you turn off the cooker is a good time to adjust seasonings so they can absorb - more salt if needed, maybe a pinch or two of sugar if your tomatoes are extra acidic, maybe a dash of Balsamic or extra Worcestershire if your tomatoes aren't tangy enough....
  4. A warning about high setting - it can get pretty hot depending on volume & surface area. I have an 8.5 quart slow cooker, which means greater surface area and, as a result, a higher heat for the volume. At 4 hrs on high, I could smell the sugars from the tomatoes and ketchup going from caramelized to burnt on the sides. Less likely to happen if you have a smaller capacity cooker..
  5. As a general rule, the lower the volume and/or the greater the surface area of the cooking vessel, the less the cook time. And there you have it. :).
  6. Enjoy with pasta of choice..

Stir to coat everything in sauce. Skim and discard fat, if desired. Serve this delicious sauce mixture with spaghetti or linguine. Stir the mixture, then set the slow cooker to low, and cook for eight hours. Scoop the beef and pork from the slow cooker and let sit until cool enough to handle.
